GREGORY J SCHMID

Greg
began in the district in 2013, teaching Biology and Advanced Integrated
Science at Sequoia while earning his Masters in Education and teaching
credential from Stanford. He taught at Carlmont for the 2014-15 school
year and was excited to return to Sequoia in 2015. He is currently
teaching Human Biology and Medical Clinical I which is the Junior Health
Careers Academy (HCA) elective.

Since
returning, Greg has worked on developing the Patient Care Pathway
curriculum for elective courses in the HCA. He is the HCA Mentor
Coordinator, partnering adults with our Junior students to help guide
them toward their career goals. Greg is also the co-lead for the HCA's
Health Occupations Students of America chapter, using early engagement
to encourage careers in the healthcare field.

Greg
works hard to build partnerships with the local community, establishing
outreach programs with our neighbors. He successfully partnered with
the Redwood City Fire Department to have our Jr. students certified as
Teen Community Emergency Response Team (C.E.R.T.) members. Teen C.E.R.T.
members learn how to safely become assets in an emergency situation and
support our First Responders.

Greg
enjoys hiking, kayaking, biking and camping with his wife Midori and
daughter Caelyn. He is also a musician who enjoys writing and performing
songs based on the content from his classes. Ask him about the Protein
Synthesis song sometime.
